This is an honest question.
Back to Gulf war I:
the rumor ran in the beginning of the 90ies that a few days before he invaded Kuwait, Saddam asked the US ambassador for the permission to do so. The answer was that they didn't support it, but that they considered it as a local affair in which they wouldn't intervene.
Is there anything known about it ? Is it just a rumor or was there something to it ?
